Why is this skill important?
As all of us realize, a wide range of IT network administration services are critical today for the organization and operation of business, industry, and government. Any “downtime” is costly in terms of both lost productivity and cost.
The system administrator may apply a broad skill set or may choose to specialize among services including design, system installation/upgrading, troubleshooting, configuration of systems and network devices, and user support. Experts in this field keep up to date on research and technology, products and services in the industry, and maintain a consistent and methodical investigative approach to their work.
From ensuring commercial entities remain “up and running” with limited systems breakdowns, to contributing to the design and development of new and innovative systems, the role of the IT network systems administrator is widely accepted as business critical.
